We will be hiking sections 10, 11 & 12, trail conditions will be graded 3 - 4 medium to hard, suitable for those who are moderately fit. We will cover nearly 100km of this trail on our tour.Trail conditions may be steep in sections, include loose rough surfaces with some stairs. We have introduced our complementary Hikefit program into this tour to keep you all fit for the trail.

August is one of the best times to hike this amazing trail very private, with day time temps around mid 20's, dropping to a cold night time temp of zero, conditions may also be hot, dry & windy.This is a packless hike. We want you to enjoy your days hiking without the worry of a heavy pack. All bags will be transferred to our next nights accommodation. Each day you will have your light small day pack with you drink & camera. Camping out in swags under the stars, sharing delicous food & hiking stories around the campfire. Beautiful memories being made.

Grade 3 ( medium ) Section 10 of the trail. We will return to Glen Helen Homestead to swag camp tonight after we enjoy a tasty dinner around a beautiful campfire.

Day 3 & 4 ~ Finke River To Redbank Gorge ~ This challenging ( but rewarding ) 26km section 11 of the trail is Grade 4 ( hard ) & takes us through some spectacular scenery. The sacrifice of this incredible scenery is no hot showers for 2 nights. The landscape at this end is dominated by Mt Sondor, the fourth highest mountain in the Northern Territory.

It's an arduous climb, grade 4 ( hard ) well worth the challenge, you will return to Alice Springs tonight where the group will be dropped at The Aurora Hotel for a nice well - earned hot shower, rest & to celebrate the days of hiking & lifelong memories made with a special farewell dinner.
